Gotta go Vegas!

What better way to represent the letter "V" than with Las Vegas. This image is from the rescued slide series I recently purchased through shopgoodwill.com.  

Dated August 3, 1957

I am glad that the photographer caught the sign of George Goebel and Shecky Greene appearing at the Riviera.  What is most striking is the Nevada landscape in the background, ala late 1950s.

A link to more vintage gotta-love-old-las-vegas images that I posted previously. 

The following images are from our family photo archive of Las Vegas, July 1965.

Pat Boone was the headliner at the Thunderbird in 1965.  Wasn't Frank Gorshin the Riddler?

Day 21 - Breathe life into an old post

Day 21 - the challenge here is to breathe life into an old post (aka regurgitation).  The instructions are to write a new post (this one) and link back to the old post gotta-love-old-Las-Vegas that extends of updates the ideas in the previous post.

I am shamelessly linking back to my rescued image posts.  This one deserves a second look.



Post update - for some reason this is one my most viewed posts and for the life of me, I can't image why.  It was one of those off the cuff, write it quick ones.

One aspect of blogging that I enjoy is wondering which posts will be popular.  It is usually not the ones that you think.  You never know what will resonate with your audience.

And because this post is always in my Popular Posts sidebar, I'm adding an image just for kicks and giggles.
